All depends on what you want to play, cash games, Sit n Goes or MTT's.

Not sure about BR req for sng's or tourneys but if your playing cash games just start off at 2nl and grind away til you get to $100, go for the one a day ironman promo (the only ironman thing you can get at 2nl really) cash in your tourney ticket for medals at the end of the month, and save your medals for a ring game ticket to either grind your current limit with or take a shot at the next one up.

I do the Iron Man one a day, as already mentioned:

The other thing that I use is the Academy, particularly challenges and sit and learns:

There is a great thread here about why you should be doing Iron Man:

Iron Man: Use it, it's free!!!

thanks .. i think iron man is one of the best promotions

i play SnG all the time

IM isn't really much of anything until you've been getting one of the levels for quite a few consecutive months. If you're only getting Bronze every couple months, then you won't really get any benefit. You have to put in quite a bit of time and effort in to achieve this(playing ~25 days a month in the volume required, doesn't seem like much until you start doing it).

Play 2NL til you get like 100$ then play 5NL Rush. Pretty easy to get like silver ironman every month playing a few hours of rush a day every month. then you can use your medals to buy ring game tickets, or tourney tickets. Hope you have rakeback!

The Academy challenges are worth doing and you get points you can spend in the store

I don't want to be a sore thumb or anything but I think it would be best moving the $50 to a different room for the time being and playing there (maybe pokerstars), I'm unsure if you're aware of the current problems with FT but last thing you would want is building up your roll and finding you can't withdraw it.

The point is that it is free so you're not losing anything by signing up for it, and the One A Day freeroll does not take an enormous commitment

My advice here: Building from a baby bankroll

If you're a SnG player then with $50 stick to the $1.20 games until you run yourself up to at least $100, maybe more.

Have an Academy challenge running in the background but don't start making crazy plays or anything just to chase challenge tasks - I get in a decent amount of volume playing SnGs, I've been doing Academy tasks pretty much since they opened it and I've still only got about 18k points, which isn't enough for even the lowest level of cash bonus. Have one running because it's free but don't do anything stupid chasing them is my point.

Same goes for Ironman, use it but don't do anything stupid trying to make a level you're just not ready for like adding more tables than you can profitably play.

How can anyone want to play on Fulltilt? They have screwed so many of their US players. Its just a matter of time till they pull the rug out from underneath all of you.

I think that what UB did was far worse than anything FT have done, and people still continued playing at UB.

I think that FT are victims of an over-zealous US government department.

If it was the US government's fault, how come all PokerStars players got their money back. The fault was of the poker sites like FT for mixing player funds with their own. They should have kept the players money in an escrow.

Banks do it.

^And thats why when the economy turns REALLY bad, we're all ****ed because theres going to be the biggest bank run in history and the banks wont have the $$$. You already knew that though...

Because there's still good action there, they're still paying players from every other country and you've got no basis for saying it's "just a matter of time" before they do the same thing to the rest of the world because the reality is their operations are perfectly legal in pretty much every other country in the world - there's no reason to believe the sky is going to fall on anyone else.

Personally I believe Full Tilt will come out of this mess a much better run company than it was before.

There is/was Exorcist, the point is I woulden't trust any money on that site again, unless they was bought out completly regardless of the action. That's why I said in an earlier post why deposit there and not go to pokerstars or any other site who isn't in danger of going under? Now, a few days later, they loose their licence so I guess his $50.00 might be in trouble or a pain at the least in getting off.

I guess we can call this avery Bad timing.
Sorry guy, but it was the worst time to sart poker at FullTilt

FTP sucks ... i got 50$ free on FTP from one of the website and day before yesterday i couldnt sign in and i sent them email and asked them about my problem and they replied me ::
Hello

its really sucks..i didnt start playing on FTP .. once i played for 2mins on rush game only and after that i coyldnt sign in anymore

I'm guessing you probably tried using the free $50 more than once. You're going to say you didn't, but you definitely had multiple accounts or they wouldn't have worded it that way.

i made account 2years back and before i get this bonus ,i made new account and then ftp sent me email and they blocked me previous account and they said i can have only one account, then i got bonus and after that my account was suspended

I thought at first when you said $50.00 that it was part of those "free" BR's from poker stratergy etc.

I suppose the good thing is that it really doesn't matter anymore and you didn't lose any real money. Would of been pointless if the money was kept on, you would never of been able to use it anyway.

Thank your lucky stars, Go deposit at say pokerstars say $50.00 on a trusting website where you know you can be very sure your money is safe.

I didnt want to mention poker site but as yes said..yes it was 50$ from pokerstrategy
